SUMMARY:Webinar: Why and What You Need to Know About the Food Safety Modernization Act
DESCRIPTION:New England Food System Policy Project (a project of American Farmland Trust\, Conservation Law Foundation\, and Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Working Group); Food Solutions New England; Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation; New England Farmers Union; Rhode Island Division of Agriculture; UMass Extension; University of Rhode Island are pleased to host: \nA Free Webinar on FSMA for New England Food Producers\, Buyers\, and Those Working Toward a Resilient New England Food System\nAugust 13\, 2013\, from 12:00-1:30 PM \nThe Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is a new federal food safety law that will significantly impact how food in New England and around the country is grown\, handled\, and processed. Whether you are a farmer\, a food buyer or processor\, or someone working toward a thriving and resilient New England farm and food system\, you have a stake in how FSMA is implemented and can help make it a workable law that improves food safety and supports the type and scale of agriculture we have here in New England. \n Join us for a discussion about two rules that have recently been released by the Food and Drug Administration—the “produce” rule\, which addresses farm practices\, and the “preventive controls” rule\, which governs facilities that manufacture\, process\, pack or hold food.  Learn how these rules may affect your farm\, your business\, your food purchasing decisions or the region’s farm economy and environment—and how you can take action to be sure your voice is heard. \nRegister here for this free webinar:  August 13\, 2013\, from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm. \nSpeakers include:  Dr. Joanne Burke\, Food & Society Faculty Fellow\, University of New Hampshire; Dr. Richard Bonanno\, Extension Educator\, UMass Extension and President\, Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation; Dr. Lori Pivarnik\, Coordinator\, Food Safety Outreach/Research Nutrition and Food Sciences Department University of Rhode Island; and  Roger Noonan\, President\, New England Farmers Union; \nUnable to participate on August 13th but want to see the webinar?   Register now and we will send you a link to the webinar after it happens so you can watch it at your convenience.

SUMMARY:FDA  Hearing on Food Safety Modernization Act
DESCRIPTION:Produce growers and farms that minimally process food items or aggregate the produce of other farms can learn more about the Food and Drug Administration’s proposed food safety rules at two upcoming hearings. The first will be held August 19 at the Augusta (ME) State Armory from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. The second will be held on August 20 from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm in Hanover NH at Alumni Hall Auditorium at the Hopkins Center at Dartmouth College. \nNew England Farmers Union encourages farmers to attend at least one of the sessions to learn more about the regulations\, and to share their concerns with the FDA. Farmers will have the opportunity to ask questions about the Produce Safety and Preventive Control Rules during the session. \nThe Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)\, passed in January 2011\, represents the most comprehensive reform of food regulation in more than 70 years. New England Farmers Union has been inviting farmers to comment on the rules\, many of which will add an untenable layer of cost and complexity for the region’s producers. \n“Food safety is a good thing\,” said New England Farmers Union President Roger Noonan\, “but the economic impact of these new rules means New England farmers are bearing a disproportionate burden. Producers need to tell their stories to the FDA and let the agency know how their operations will be affected by FSMA.” \n“The produce safety rule will mean big changes for Maine produce growers and packers\,” said Agriculture\, Conservation & Forestry Commissioner Walter Whitcomb\, who will be the host of the Maine session. “This is an important opportunity to hear from the Food and Drug Administration and offer comments.” \nVisit New England Farmers Union’s website for summaries of FSMA rules\, talking points\, as well as instructions on how to comment. The website will also provide up-to-date and detailed information on the hearings. You can also stay up to date by signing up for our blog and by following us on Facebook and Twitter. \nFor those not able not attend the listening session\, suggested questions may be submitted to New England Farmers Union at info@newenglandfarmersunion.org.

They have been working with UMass to implement a whole-farm IPM program. Arthur Tuttle and Ruth Hazzard\, both of UMass Extension\, will discuss how these strategies have worked in their extended-season crops. Arthur will discuss Apple scab and stink bug in apples; Ruth will lead a hands-on scouting demonstration in fall Brassicas & discuss Brassica\, potato & onion IPM.\n\n\nFarm marketing and consumer relations. Heather Vitella is founder of Cover Crop Marketing\, a marketing agency working specifically with small farms and food producers on web design\, digital marketing\, and customer retention strategies. She writes the Tangerini’s weekly CSA newsletter and worked with Laura to put together an e-book for CSA first-timers called The CSA Survival Guide.
